I'd prefer to say "misinterpret" than pretend to follow... but even so, following it as presented to its totality is still going to be sub-par.

Some of the points in the Agile manifesto are just arrogant, unjustified statements of fact or vague and useless comments.

Some people hate face-to-face interaction... and what the hell is a 'regular interval'... and sometimes a clear vision and direction from above achieves the very greatest of results that the team without it would have failed to produce.

Its not useless, but its not without fault either.
